H10: the device was not received for evaluation; however, the machine was evaluated on-site by a baxter qualified technician.The device underwent functional testing, including system self-tests (sst), prime and prime tests, verified scales, and verified pressures, and the device performed according to product specification.A 30-minute simulated therapy was successfully performed.The reported condition was not verified.The event history log review showed a return pressure drop about an hour into the treatment, promptly notified by the machine through the pertinent return pressure alarm.After this alarm, the treatment continued for 14 hours, and no other similar alarms occurred.A slight return pressure drop was later observed that did not trigger the return line disconnection alarm because the drop was less than 50 mmhg, that is the limit when the blood flow rate is 200 ml/mil or less.No machine malfunctions or unexpected conditions were identified.A service history review revealed no indication that the parts replaced during servicing caused or contributed to the reported event.Should additional relevant information become available, a supplemental report will be submitted.
